He was at once brought ashore, and Captain Kemp, deputy-dockmaster, and Police-constable Saunders, both of whom hold the St. John Ambulance certificate, at once, applied Dr. Marshal Hall's method of respiration, but finding no sign of life they tried Dr. Silvester's method, and in about an hour restored him to consciousness. At this moment, Dr. Bird arrived, and pronounced Ramage out of danger, and he was taken on board the ship.
